Volunteer Opportunity: Writer / Journalist / Storyteller

CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR SUBMISSION UNTIL LATE 2027

 

Help Us Tell Stories That Matter – Join Say Aphasia

Do you believe stories can change lives?

Can you listen with empathy, write with heart, and give voice to those often unheard?

SayAphasia is looking for a volunteer writer / journalist / storyteller to help shine a light on the lived experiences of people with aphasia — a communication disorder that affects a person’s ability to use language.

 

What You'll Do:

• Interview people with aphasia and their families
• Craft meaningful articles and blog posts
• Collaborate with our team to research and gather stories
• Help raise awareness of aphasia
• Support our mission to create a more inclusive, understanding world

 

 What We’re Looking For:

• A personable, empathetic and patient communicator
• Strong writing, interviewing, or journalism skills
• Curiosity and willingness to learn about aphasia
• A flexible, open mind and an inclusive approach
• Commitment to completing a short induction course on communicating with people who have aphasia

 

This is perfect for you if:

• You're a journalist, blogger or writer looking to make an impact
• You’re passionate about people, inclusion, and human stories
• You want to build your portfolio while doing good

  

Additional Creative Skills Welcome:

Are you skilled in videography, photography, or audio recording?

We’d love to harness your talents to bring stories to life in multimedia formats — short films, audio clips, photo essays and more. Visual and sound storytelling can be especially powerful when working with individuals who communicate in different ways.

  

Why Volunteer?

• Build your portfolio with real-world impact
• Learn from a caring community and support network
• Be part of a mission-driven charity, led by people with aphasia
• Spread empathy and amplify voices that are often overlooked
